Turning 30

Today I turn 30. It feels weird to write, and even weirder to say. 30. I have mixed feelings about this milestone. I remember thinking when I was younger that 30 was so old. I imagined myself at 30. Being the perfect wife, the perfect mom. Cheerful, active, with tons of friends, and a busy social life. Well I was right about some things. Totally wrong about others.

I should be pleased with what I have accomplished by 30. After all, I am doing exactly what I thought I would be doing. I am married, a mom to two awesome boys, and I get to stay home with them which is what I always wanted. But I am certainly not the "perfect" wife and mother like I thought I would be. I am not always "cheerful", definitely not as "active" as I would like to be. I have friends, but I wouldnt say that I have a ton. I have lost and gained friends along the way, and the friends that I have now are also moms and we have a bond in knowing that we want to raise our children in the same way.My "social life" includes the children and consists of playdates to the park.

I guess all in all I cant complain. Even though my life isnt exactly what I thought it would be, it is still fabulous and I wouldnt change it for anything! I love my life. I am excited to see what my 30's have to offer.
